No. 4 - Yamaha FJR1300
The FJR1300 returns with the latest technological advancements to go head-to-head with the best GT bikes in the industry. Classically styled and neatly built, this Yamaha oozes quality. The list of features is pretty impressive: power-adjustable windshield, heated grips, cruise control, ABS, customizable traction control system, 2-mode engine mapping, electronically controlled suspension, adjustable seat and saddlebags, centre stand, and more.

While smooth and compliant over long distances, the Yamaha FJR1300 is not quite as comfortable as the top 3 GT motorcycles in Canada, according to us. On the other hand, it displays superb overall balance inviting you to twist the throttle wide open and attack corners with authority for extra fun on the road, making for a ride and handling combination that's hard to beat. At $18,499, the very satisfying FJR1300 remains a safe bet in the GT segment.
